Yes, hypercalcemia causes nervous system depression - the opposite of (see below)
According to the Human Anatomy and Physiology Textbook by Marieb, hypocalcemia causes neuron excitation and if severe enough, leads to tetany and then paralysis. this is because both serum calcium and intracellular calcium are increased. The reason hypocalcemia causes neuron excitation (contrary to the above logic) is because a decrease in extracellular calcium concentration increases the neuron membrane's permeability to sodium and allows sodium to easily depolarize the neuron's membrane and cause an action potential. Additionally The membrane threshold becomes refractory to depolarization thus many of the symptoms are related to the loss of cell membrane excitability.
How extracellular calcium controls sodium membrane permeability is another question.

What is nervous system depression?
Nervous system depression is not the same thing as depression where you feel sad. It means slowing down of the nervous system. Nervous system depression causes things like slowed heartbeat, dulled mental ability, and slow reflexes. Some drugs and medical conditions can cause this. Sedatives are one medication that causes depression of the nervous system.
What is the usual cause of decreasing efficiency of the nervous system as a whole?
The usual cause of decreasing efficiency of the nervous system as a whole is aging. As we age, the speed of nerve conduction slows down, and the overall function of the nervous system declines. Factors such as neurodegenerative diseases and lifestyle habits can also contribute to a decrease in nervous system efficiency.
Which two sytems work with the skeletal system to cause a finger to move?
The muscular system works with the skeletal system to cause a finger to move. The nervous system also plays a critical role by sending signals from the brain to activate the muscles involved in finger movement.
What effect do barbitchuates have?
Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants that can produce sedation, relaxation, and decrease anxiety. They can also cause significant side effects such as respiratory depression, confusion, and dependence. Overuse or misuse of barbiturates can lead to overdose and death.
What body system is neuritis related to?

A toxicity of which mineral damages the nervous system and causes symptoms that resemble Parkinson's disease?
Magnesium- can cause muscle weakness, seizures, fatigue, depression, and irregular heartbeats.
What are the causes of hypercalcemia?
Many different conditions can cause hypercalcemia; the most common are hyperparathyroidism and cancer.
Does parasympathetic nervous system cause slowed digestion?
it can cause you to die
Does hypercalcemia cause muscle tetany?
Hypocalcemia ( a low serum calcium level), not hypercalcemia ( a high serum calcium level), tends to cause muscle spasm and in severe cases may lead to muscle tetany.
Can you take Tylenol 3 with Valium?
Yes you can, however, you need to speak to your Physician or Pharmacist before doing so, as If they are not taken as the right dosages, they can cause central nervous system depression and death.
What viral system attacks the human nervous system and can cause paralysis?
polio
Naroctics acts on the central nervous system by producing a effect?
Narcotics act on the central nervous system by binding to specific receptors, such as opioid receptors, to produce pain relief and a sense of euphoria. These drugs can also cause sedation, respiratory depression, and in high doses, can lead to overdose and death.
